/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Odo is so fucking pleased with himself, I love that line.
"Because everyone hates that Enterprise episode."
(I actually liked it, but I'm in the minority.)
"You did, sir. They insulted the Enterprise, and per General Ship Order Twenty Six Alpha Nine.... we are to defend the honor of the Enterprise at all times. They, uh, said the enterprise looked like a skinny duck, sir."
It is such a fantastic series, which goes so much deeper than TOS or TNG were able to.
You are also going to enjoy Babylon Five as well, but imho DS9 is so much better.:-)
I thought you'd like it and I'm glad you did!
I could sense they must have had a hell of time putting it together too .... between the complex editing and CGI that would have been a mountain of work to pull off in 1996 ... figuring out how to squeeze the scenes together to make a storyline ... then mix in the fact that Klingons make an appearance with Worf having to blandly brush it all away by saying 'we don't talk about it' ... and trying to shoehorn in Sisko sharing a scene with Kirk ... it all works but just barely.
Now I understand why so many people complain about it. If you can appreciate the constraints they had in making this, I think it's an amazing episode.
Loved the editing they did with the bar fight scene ... they were careful to mix a curly haired Klingon from the original footage to be fighting hand to hand with modern O'Brien.
Do people really not like this episode? I thought it was a favorite?
I'm not sure but from the little I've heard of it up until now, it is a liked and loved episode. I think it's one of those things that turned out great that some people feel a need to push back on the praise.
